Video: Maceo Plex DJ-Kicks Interview
One of Maceo Plex’s stated goal with his DJ-Kicks mix was to take a forward-looking approach to the music and selection, rather than getting mired in retro-ism. That emphasis on the future seems to have extended to this video interview, which sees the DJ / producer speaking about his contribution to the DJ-Kicks series amidst some incredible 3D visuals from The Butchers.

Maya Jane Coles Video Interview
Maya Jane Coles’ DJ-Kicks is out this week, and she’s still on an incredible run! In the short time since we last touted her accomplishments, she’s been named one of five Best New Artists for April by Spin Magazine, and been honored as Artist of the Year by Beatport’s staff. All in a month’s work, we suppose.
We managed to grab some time out of Maya’s insane schedule to speak in London about the mix, and her philosophy on making music. Check out the video (directed by Giorgio Gremigni) below, and below that you can grab an exclusive new Maya production from the mix. The whole mix is available from fine retailers worldwide.

Photek Video Interview
Watching Photek in his studio is a bit like watching a master chef in the kitchen.

DJ-Kicks is out now everyone but the US, where it comes out on April 3rd. Read more…

Apparat Tackles DJ-Kicks Theory Atop Teufelsberg
We couldn’t have asked for a better location to film a series of conversations with Apparat than Teufelsberg, an artificial hill outside of Berlin, made from World War II rubble, and topped with an old Allied listening station. For this first part in the series, Apparat discusses his approach to constructing the mix, some music that almost, but didn’t quite make the cut, and how the opportunity to do a DJ-Kicks mix saved him, in a way. Look for more video footage and other fun stuff coming soon to dj-kicks.com.
